Wilson Pride receives donation

Wilson Pride, Inc., has received a $760 donation from the Midwest Energy Community Fund Spring disbursement. These funds will be used to repair the “Visit Wilson” sign at the intersection of K-156 Highway and NE 160th Avenue, 20 miles south of Wilson. From 2007-14, Wilson Pride took the lead in creating a new city park in Wilson named PRIDE PARK.

The Midwest Energy Community Fund was created in 2005, and provides funds to activities that focus on youth, arts, education, libraries, community events and similar projects. Five committees of Midwest Energy customers determine who receives the awards, ranging from $50 to $1,000. The Fund awards grants twice a year.

Application deadlines are March 1 and Oct. 1. Applications are being accepted now for disbursements in the Fall of 2022. Interested organizations should visit www.mwenergy.com, and the “Community” tab, for guidelines and an application.
